Summary:Purpose Retrospective noncomparative case series to investigate the role of rectus muscle myectomy for the treatment of large-angle strabismus in patients with Graves’ ophthalmopathy. Patients and methods Data from 47 consecutive patients with Graves’ ophthalmopathy who underwent complete myectomy for large-angle strabismus (strabismus greater than 25 prism diopters (PDs)) were collected retrospectively. Pre- and postoperative deviations in primary and reading position were measured in PDs. Postoperative deviation of
